Bustling Butchers.

When the partnership was formed
between W. II. Doak and John
Gray it was generally prophesied
that they would make strong team,
and the manner in which their bust.
ness has been conducted, their steady
and rapid growth in public favor
has given substantiation OF that be-
lief. They signalized the opening
OF their shop by putting in practice
the live and let live policy, in re-
ducing the best steaks to I2I5 cents
per pound, and all other cuts in pro,
portion, in which they have contin.
ued, much to the qualification of the
meat consumers Of both town and
country. They have drawn trade
from neighboring towns and find
that smaller profits and larger sales
are just as remunerative in the ag-
gregate and are highly appreciated
by the public. They have recently
received from their wholesale house
5000 pounds Of smoked meats, be-
ing the largest invoice, shippers say,
ever sent to town in western Iowa.
The firm is always alive to the best
interests of its customers, and has
listed number of valuable Christ
mas presents Tor them. First is
handsome swell body cutter, manu-
featured especially for this firm at
an expense Of SIS; second dressed
hog; third a quarter of beet, md
fourth Christmas turkey, These
articles will be gwen away by draw
ing on Saturday, Dec. a4th, 1857.
A numbered ticket is given with
every purchase 81 fifty cents worth
of meat of any kind. To those who
buy in smaller quantities tickets are
given which may be exchanged for
n ticket in the drawing when the
amount purchased equals fifty cents.
The best meat at the lowest prices,
with chances in this grand lottery.
BE sure and have a chance.

Home Comfort.

With the characteristic enterprise
of the firm, Messrs. Jones & McKar.
ahsn have just received and added
to their already rcplete stock of
hardware the newest and latest
thing in the way Of stoves. 1t is
the "Home Comfort" wrought iron
range, the best and most economical
cooking stove ever placed on the
market. Being of wrought iron it
is of course not SUBJECT to breakage
either by handling, or expansion or
shrinkage through the effects of heat
or cold. Every piece and attach
ment is of the same maleable mate
rial and may be pounded, carelessly
handled, used for hammers or any
article of general utility without fear
OF breakage. Freight handlers and
draymen have derived their fill of
satisfaction in handling these stoves,
while the proverbial baggage smash
err has exhausted his strength in q
vain attempt to break a lid. At
tached to each stove is fifteen gal
lon reservoir, and n guarantee is
given that water may be brought
to boiling heat in fifteen minutes,
which IS made possible by a gas
pipe running from the reservoir to
the fire place and returning. AS
the water in the pipe near the fire
commences to boil it produces a
current, thus continually driving the
hot water back into the body in the
reservoir. Notwithstanding the in
tense heat it is possible to generate
with this stove, it may yet be kept
as cool as an oil or gasoline stove
for summer use. This is accomp-
lished by means of a cold air draft
opening at the base, from which a
current of cold air circulates on both
sides and ends, leaving only the top
of the stove and the oven hot for ,
cooking and baking purposes. To
fully recount the many merits OF
this article would occupy too much
space here, but it will pay all inter-
ested in the subject to call at the
store and examine this article, which
has been correctly and expressively
named "Home Comfort" The gen.
tlcmen of the firm will take pleasure.
in showing you the best stove eyer
placed on the market.

There comes story, waited on

merchant and a practitioner OF the

ner to communicate the "whisti |
have it," idea. Soon the gun was
discharged and the nimrod fastened
to sack his game. A consultation
was held over the remains, the I'M
sophisticated hunter the meanwhile
raving in ecstacies over his prepond-
GRANGE OF luck and jlbing his COM
rade upon his ill-success. The crafty
practitioner of the black art pro-
ceedei to diagnose the case and
communicated the appalling result
to his friend thusly: "Partner, upon
a careful examination of the corpse l
find that the progressive chariot of
civilization has left her marks, re-
finement has banished the roughness
of the wild bird OF stream and forest;
its conspicuous nudity argues clearly
to my mind that it has recently
been plucked, the downy plumage
beng required for the comfort of
our race; in fact, my dear sir, l am
convinced that the deceased is the
property of Mother Lacy" The
mercantile nimrod offered liberal
reward to hush the story on the
spot, but it has spread, and nothing
but cigars can hush the clamor of
his friends.

Deprecating imposition upon the
innocent and unsuspecting, we think
the man who passed a SIS Canada
bill upon Bro. Carpenter should be
ostracised by the general public.
The recipient has made many at.
tempts to perpetuate its circulation
without discount, but all of no avail.
We recommend that our friend hold
the bill until the annexation scheme
is perfected.

of the step taken Tuesday was not
fully realized until within a week.
Her mental condition has been az.

TURBULENT WATERS.
A Great Ice Gorge Breaks on the
Missouri River.
Water and Ice Sweep Everything Be-
fore Them.
Buildings Are Carried Away, But For
tunately No Lives Lost.

BISMARCK, d. T., March 18.AThe WASH
burn gorge broke last night, and early this
morning the rivor began to rise rapidly. A
gorge was formed below the city. The ice
carried everything with 1t, and struck the
immense warehouse of the Northern Pacific,
one of the largest in the world. The work
men narrowly escaped drowning, and in less
than two hours from the time Of the gorge
the water was in the second stories of the
river boarding houses, which had been built
on what was considered high ground. Tie
warehouse which is nearly 200 feet in length
was moved bodily over 80 feet, and seut
crashing against bluff. The loss Of the
building will be over $4,000. The meadow
lands south of Bismarck, comprising 5000
acres, is now one vast sea, and the ice is
flowing over the newly made channel in the
body of surplus water at the rate of ten
miles. per hour. The river at this point,
usually three-quarters OF a mile wide, is now
over six miles in width. The Northern Pa
cific trains will be unable to cross the river
Tor several days, and Bismarck will be the
western terminus for week. Mandan is
submerged. and the people in the lower part
stories of their dwellings All of the small
dwellings on the banks Of the stream have
been swept away or destroyed, and steam
boats lying at Rock Haven are in danger
The high trestle of the Northern Pacific
railroad at this point has been damaged. At
O'Clock p. M, the new channel which the
river had cut across the prairie let out the.
Ice, and the river has since fallen slowly.
But the worst has not come. The Ice went
out at Fort Bufford this morning, with
rise OF 80 feet, the highest ever known. This
flood will not reach here till Saturday, when
there will probably be terrible destruction
The loss at the river landing and on the
meadow land will already reach $4,000.

THE MYSTERY
About the Sale of the Baltimore and
Ohio Solved.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The Baltimore &
Ohio mystery is at last cleared up. The sale
Of the road to the Stagner-Ives syndicate
having been announced late today. The
nrst deposit Of $500OOO has already been
paid, and the transfer of the road to the pur-
chasers will soon be made. The buyers are
known only by their connection with the
purchase of the Cincinnati, Hamilton d6
Dayton railroad a year ago, and Ives was at
the bottom of the corner in Mutual Union
Telegraph stock for which he has been ostra-
cized by the New York Stock Exchange.
The backer of these parties is generally un-
derSt0Od to be Christopher Myer the mil
n0nalre rubber manufacturer of this CITY,
Stagner is also an old New Yorker, and is
well known from number of fancy specu-
lations he was identified with. He was at
one time treasurer of the American Bank
Note Company. There ale no other parties
back of the purchase of any Importance, and
although @. p Huntington's name is coupled
with the Hamilton d Dayton railroad, he
ofnclally denies connection, and those near
est to him assert to their personal friends
that he has no connection whatever with
the syndicate. Parties holding option in the
board at first asked for an extension, but
when Garrett explained that such large
block could not remain tied up, they with
drew their request. 1t is generally thought
that although the Richmond terminal people
are disappointed at the disposition made of
the Baltimore & Ohio control they are better
off without it. A sterling loan of $1,000, 200
on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton stock
is reported to have been made to the syndi-
cate, the money to be used in the payment
of the Baltimore & Ohio stock. 1t is also
stated that the purchasers of the Baltimore
& Ohio are busily engaged in attempts to
raise the Balance of the first 81, ,000, 900 which
is to be paid Monday. 1t is also alleged
they are mortgaging the property before
hand, in order to raise money, and that as
soon as they can get control the disintegra-
tion of the road will begin.
